Manchester United v FC Barcelona - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: First Leg

The big Belgian who joined for £75 million in the summer of 2017 from Everton has failed to nail down a starting spot at Manchester United, having only impressed sporadically. Now condemned to playing second fiddle to Marcus Rashford, Lukaku could be part of the clearing out process that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will oversee in the summer.

Manchester United are looking to build a new core in the summer and Lukaku is one of the players who they are willing to sell in order to make way for fresh signings. Lukaku was the first-choice striker for the Red Devils under Jose Mourinho. However, things didn't work out for Lukaku despite stitching together a few good performances under Solskjaer.

Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are all being linked with the man who holds the goalscoring record for Belgium.
